This book resembles a lot of Bollywood movies I have seen where a couple is separated by situations beyond their control and when one of them finds someone else, the other one turns up.
Roy and Celeste are married for a
year or so and then Roy gets false accused of Rape and is imprisoned for 12
years. Celeste waits patiently then realized that Andre, her childhood friend
is her one true love. Andre and Celeste are all set to get engaged and then out
of the blue Roy’s conviction is overturned and he get to release from prison
way to early. Tragic right ! Only here the emotional struggle of people caught
in this love triangle is explained in detail. Like how Roy and Celeste fell
apart. How Andre and Celeste came to know that they are made for each other and
blah blah.
There is so much detailing that it
makes you feel that everything is happening in slow motion. I am not the one
for love triangle stories but this book is captivating. The only thing I couldn’t
wrap my head around is to Roy and Andre, Celeste seems a very special woman but
from the story I couldn’t make out what was so special about Celeste except she
made dolls and she smells nice (this particular detail is mentioned more than a
couple of times). I am giving this book 4 stars because whatever each character
in this book is experiencing is quite human. The emotional struggle is quite
real.
